I'm an antique dealer, and I have found that silver sells much better when polished.
Here's a site that explains the cleaning processes that I use.

I think you should find someone that deals in silver and get some advice.
Remember that a lot of so called silver is not. Much of it is silver plating and that is not very thick so cleaning might remove too much silver. It can be repleted and not real costly.
Definitely find a person that deals in silver and ask what to do.
